Organize
Sometime in the next couple of months, we want to organize our Ravelry patterns into bundles. A bundle is a way to group patterns or yarns or favorite designers together on Ravelry. The Artful Yarn has bundles for pattern categories, patterns by specific yarns, patterns by favorites designers - you get the idea. What makes bundles more than a list is that the patterns in a bundle link to the pattern entries on Ravelry. Any pattern can be added to a bundle and the number is not limited. Read how here

VISIT
Over 100 years ago, a tradition of generous hospitality began at the summer estate of Earl W. Oglebay. (Yes! Of Oglebay Norton, the Great Lakes ore mining company and SS Edmund Fitzgerald fame!) Today, the beauty of Oglebay’s property has expanded to include 2,000 acres of year-round recreational activities and exceptional overnight accommodations amid the property’s natural beauty. About 3 hours away from Northeast Ohio, Oglebay Resort & Conference Center in Wheeling, West Virginia, offers something for all ages. In spring, enjoy the most glorious display of approximately 30,000 tulips and an additional 20,000 daffodils in different areas around the park’s arboretum (mid-April through mid-May)

WATCH
Renew your love affair with an old movie! So, we're the first to recommend one of those hot new series out there on streaming services, but let's be honest - there are tons of old movies that melt our hearts! We love Breakfast at Tiffany's. Whatever your vibe (scifi, romcom, western, action) - we know you have a favorite or two. This is the best time of year to start binging a few of them right now! This quote is a classic: It calms me down right away, the quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there, not with those kind men in their nice suits, and that lovely smell of silver and alligator wallets. If I could find a real-life place that made me feel like Tiffany’s, then I’d buy some furniture and give the cat a name. Truman Capote!
ON OUR BOOK LIST
We've seen Red Island House, written by National Book Award-nominated author Andrea Lee, recommended everywhere! So it's moved to the top our list! The novel whisks you away to the island of Madagascar. The author spins interconnected stories set on the beach where an Italian businessman builds a gaudy vacation house; they're all centered around his new African-American professor wife's eye-opening adventures (like getting a curse on the place removed, for starters.) This gorgeously evocative epic about love, clashing cultures, and identity, sounds fun and captivating! (reviews from various sources)
AND THIS . . .
>Saturday, April 17 is Local Yarn Shop Day. Freebies, spiked punch, what could be better?
>Thursday, April 22 is Earth Day. Again, freebies and fun + a Zoom Chat exclusive with LeeAnn Halley, former owner of the Village Herb Shop.
>Please remember that local charities still need your support. A friend of ours who used to work for the Salvation Army used to say the "Red Kettle" campaigns were a mixed blessing: they received most of their donations during the holidays, but people gave most of their donations during the holidays. Every gift matters to cash-strapped organizations serving people in need in our communities. Please help where you can!
